Lyon surpasses South Africa legend in all-time Test wicket-takers list

Nathan Lyon now has 440 wickets, taking him past South Africa great Dale Steyn’s tally of 439 Test scalps. The ace off-spinner snared the wicket of Jason Holder to go level with Steyn before dismissing Kemar Roach towards the end of the West Indies innings to become the ninth-highest wicket-taker in Test history.

Lyon now needs three more wickets to go past fellow off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who is likely to play against Bangladesh in the Test match starting this Sunday, 4 December.

Australia: 598 for 4 dec and 29 for 1

West Indies: 283 (Brathwaite 64, Chanderpaul 51, Cummins 3-34, Starc 3-51) (ICC)
